Hello all! I am in the process to package a simple application for creating short movies from a set of photos. The application is called PhotoFilmStrip and can be found here: http://www.photofilmstrip.org/ I initially submitted to RPM Fusion because of the dependency on mencoder, but a reviewer from RPM Fusion noticed that the application can be used without this dependecy, although it cannot output (render) the movie. This means that we can include in in Fedora, but keep a meta-package with the appropriate dependecy on mencoder to enable the rendering. I'm not entirely sure how this application could be useful if we remove the render functionality, though, as it's pretty limited otherwise and the risk is to give users the wrong perception that a fedora package is simply broken. There is also another problem, without mencoder, when clicking to the render box, I get a stack trace instead of a warning to install mencoder, so, at the very minimum, the app should be patched to allow a nice dialog instead of a scaring python stack trace. I will try to get in touch with the author to see if he is interested in fixing this behaviour (and perhaps if he wants to add support to WebM and Theora), but I would like to know what is the current guideline for issues such as this?
